We choose MCC as our wedding caterer based off menu and pricing but what sealed the deal was when our wedding coordinator had also personally used them! Amazing food and selection with the staff being so responsive and kind. I can't wait to use them again for future events. read more

If you are looking for something that's a Hot and New staple in Vista. This might be the Mexico City cuisine spot just for you! Colab will now have them as their newest Brick and Mortar vendor! Tonight we got to experience their service just outside of Colab. They worked out of their really nice food truck but soon they will be able to work inside the kitchen that is located in the venue. They were really organized and ready to serve us! I'd like to say they gave top notch service. They looked professional with their work logo/labeled attire & alongside wearing their name tags. Each staffer was kind & very attentive to our needs. We were impressed by how they came in & even checked up on us when we were inside dining. We felt very much catered to. I enjoyed my street tacos and also liked dipping my chips into the beans. Yumm! I already have intentions to meet up with our friends here again! read more

Experienced MCC at a wedding in Valley Center. Phenomenal!!! Best food ever! Very authentic and fresh. Staff were super nice. Hope one day they open a sit-down restaurant. I'd be first in line! read more

Used Mexico City Cuisine to cater a business event. They were a pleasure to work with from start to finish; from initial tasting at their facility to their communications and responsiveness, to their execution at the event and the quality and tastiness of the food. One of our guests said "I lived in Tijuana for a period of time and I can say this food is straight up delicious and legit". Highly recommend! read more

We hired MCC to cater our October 2025 wedding and we cannot say enough GREAT things about them. From quoting, to booking, to updating the proposal as needs changed, everything was seamless. MCC is an extremely well oiled machine with incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Not a single hiccup on wedding day. Still to this day we continue to get compliments on the food - we went with tacos, of course. But the real star of the show were the wings at happy hour. Our guests RAVED about all of the food, but the wings were by far a fan favorite. 10/10 recommend hiring MCC for your next event - they are a standout on price, service, and quality. read more

We had Mexico City Cuisine cater our wedding, and everything was great! The tacos were a standout favorite. They were a huge hit with all of our guests. The setup looked great and fit perfectly with the vibe of our celebration. We also added churros for dessert, which were just as popular. Warm, fresh, and perfectly sweet, they were the ideal late-night treat and added such a fun finishing touch to the food experience We'd highly recommend Mexico City Cuisine. read more

If anyone is giving MCC less than 5 stars, they are lying- lol. Okay on the real, MCC is A W E S O M E. We booked them for our wedding and they absolutely rocked it from start to finish! They walk you thru the entire process, learn more about you to give you the best recommendations and experience, they were SO sweet especially at the tasting and made sure we weren't "cheated out" of anything (especially bc we didn't know we needed to necessarily ask for certain things at tasting), and let's take a moment to talk about the event prep and the event itself. Leo and Liz really stepped up to the plate days before our wedding when some shifts on the team occurred but resolidified every detail and reassured that everything would still go perfectly and that they will take care of anything they needed to- and they did! There were so many guests who went out of their way to tell me how much the LOVED the food especially the flautas , the ceviche , the chicken and tri tip, the mash potatoes, the garlic toast, and horchata. Staff was so on top of bussing , serving, set up and more. To top it all off, I can't emphasize enough how sweet, organized, and above and beyond MCC staff especially Leo was willing to go. You can't beat their prices either - AMAZING all around 12/10!! Thank you thank you thank you MCC for making our special day perfect. We love you! read more

I have used MCC 3 times now. I have worked with Eva, Leo, and Liz and all three have been super friendly and helpful. The first time I used them was for my wedding at the flower fields in June of 2023. Everyone loved it and they made it so easy for wedding planning. No stress at all with them. My coworkers that were at my wedding loved it so much they wanted them to cater our holiday party. So we hired them for our holiday party in 2023. Again, we loved them so much we hired them for our holiday party in 2025. We ordered the same thing all three times. The trio tacos (comes with toppings and salsas, cheese enchiladas, fajitas, rice, beans, chips, ceviche, rolled tacos, quesadillas, horchata, and churros with ice cream. Everything is always so good!! My favorite are the rolled tacos for an appetizer and the tacos!!! So much food, such great service, and very good quality food. Couldn't recommend them more! read more

We had a wonderful experience with Mexico City Cuisine for a backyard pre-wedding party. The team was prompt, professional, did a wonderful set up and tear down. The beverages, appetizers, main courses, sides and churro dessert bar were absolutely excellent. Highly recommend for a stress-free amazing event. read more

We used them for a corporate party for roughly 120 people. They were amazing to work with from start to finish. Liz helped me with my catering requests. She was very responsive and helped me get our arrangements set up. The staff that came to cook and serve were phenomenal. Very kind, helpful, and just overall amazing people. They were beyond accommodating and super fast! They served 120 people in 15 minutes flat. The food was delicious! We did the Santa Maria Tri tip corporate style picnic. I highly recommend them!

We went to a celebration of life and they catered the even. With 1 week notice. They set tables up and linens. Full service and we're so curtius and welcoming. Cleared the plates when we were done eating. The food was delicious. They broke down tables and were gone in a flash. It was truly 5 star food and service. I would recommend them for any event. read more

Hired them for my wedding (5/13/23), and everyone loved the food! From the appetizers to the main course. They were on time to the venue, & the food was ready on time.

Easy to work with, great communication, outstanding food. Helped me with a party of 120 people, made everything so nice and easy for me. Would definitely use them again! read more

Happy Taco Tuesday! We tried MCC food truck at Belching Beaver. It's not always the same food truck on the same day of the week, and there is another Mexican food truck that rotates there regularly. We've tried both, and MCC is by far the better one. Tacos and fajitas were tasty. My favorite was the al pastor. We also got carne asada, which was good with all the toppings, but the meat itself was a little dry. The guy taking orders was super friendly and chipper, in a very pleasant authentic way. read more

I would give zero stars if I could. We hired Mexico City Cuisine for my daughter's wedding, and as a "catering" company experienced with weddings, we negotiated additional services, including setting up chairs on the ceremony lawn, tables and chairs on the reception lawn, and cake cutting service. They arrived on time, but the team lead, Betty, argued with our wedding coordinator about the additional services that they were employed to perform. To begin, they had to be told to set up the ceremony lawn, and Betty considered their work to be complete once the chairs were brought to the lawn and opened. Our coordinator, in her formal wear and shoes, was forced to troubleshoot and stage the chairs appropriately. Then, we paid food service per guest, and we were billed for 66 guests. (We were also billed for Mexico City Cuisine employee meals, which I found to be unprofessional for a catering service). We had 50 guests at the reception, including our photographer and our DJ, yet we were not given any food to be taken home. (We we later told that we "didn't request the leftover food.") Again, we paid for the food, so I was flabbergasted that we had to request the product that we paid for (?). During the cake ceremony, the caterers were nearby, breaking down their food service trays and tables, which was a distraction to this beautiful wedding tradition. Again, the team was not "aware" that they were to perform a cake cutting service, nor were they trained. The cake cutting was sloppy, the slice sizes inconsistent, and the forks were stuck into the cake and served sticking straight up! This was wedding cake! But the worst part is yet to come. Once the event ended and the guests left, Betty told our wedding coordinator that the team was not going to be breaking down the tables and chairs. I was pulled away from my mother-of-the-bride duties, as she was demanding payment from our coordinator. When I arrived to Betty, invoice in my hand, clearly stating that the team would remain until the end of the event and assist with final clean-up (picture attached below), she was on the phone with her "boss," Leo. (I knew Leo, because he made the wedding tasting a nightmare on my daughter the week she flew down from Seattle to try the menu. Two times he tentatively scheduled a tasting, and both times he cancelled. I tried to convince my daughter to cancel this caterer all together at that point, but it was so close to the wedding that she was afraid she wouldn't find someone else.). I was put on the phone with Leo, and while I explained the issues from the beginning of day, Betty was standing next to me calling me a LIAR!! I responded to the name-calling that she had just forfeited her gratuity. Once they finished their commitment, I gave the two younger team members their gratuity (it wasn't their fault they were stuck working with an unprofessional caterer). Betty attempted to intervene and prevent these two employees from receiving their gratuity from me. I gave Betty's gratuity to my wedding coordinator, who happened to be a fluent Spanish speaker and understood all the negative talking that was taking place behind her back. The next day, my daughter called me to ask what had happened with the caterer. This was the final straw. My daughter, a newlywed, who my wedding coordinator and I worked tirelessly to shield from Betty's unnecessary unprofessionalism on her special day, was now aware that there were problems. This is when I learned that Betty was a partial owner of the company, and her version of events did not align to either mine or the wedding coordinators, to whom my daughter also spoke. Mexico City Cuisine's solution? To offer my daughter catering if she has a baby shower! I can't make this up. DO NOT USE THIS "CATERER" FOR A WEDDING!! Please respond to me here on Yelp if you'd like any further information. Edited to add: Racism is a pretty strong accusation. I'm glad you brought it up. It's bold that you're projecting your staff's racism towards our wedding coordinator as our racism towards your staff. When Betty speaks in Spanish negatively about her, failing to realize that she is a fluent Spanish speaker, and when Betty yells to you that I'm a liar while I'm speaking to you on the phone, and when you confirm to me that you hear this as I ask "Do you hear Betty calling me a liar?"....your response to my review just proves that you refuse to take accountability for your business's shortcomings. read more

Mexico City catered my wedding earlier this month and we were so pleased with the food and the service! We decided on their Taco Bar and the food was delicious! I am a native San Diegan but my husband is from the Midwest so it was awesome to have some authentic Mexican food for all our out-of-town guests to experience haha. Everything went perfectly and all our guests really enjoyed the food. Mexico City was very easy to work with and very accommodating to our needs. They provided bartending staff as well as the catering service and also handled our cake-cutting. If you are looking for some delicious Mexican food for your next event I would 1000% recommend Mexico City Cuisine! read more

Mexico City Cuisine - Caterers Near Me - Carlsbad, California

There are any number of reasons that you would want to hire a caterer (e.g., parties, weddings, graduations, etc.), but the reason we had hired Mexico City Cuisine had to do with celebrating the milestone of having written a book. It was a huge personal and professional goal that took a lot of time, effort, dedication and energy - and was certainly worth commemorating. We wanted to share this accomplishment with family and friends at a local brewery and made the wise decision to select Leo and his incredible team to feed those in attendance. From the first time I called Mexico City Cuisine and got in touch with Leo, I knew immediately from our conversation that he was going to be great to work with. Not only was he genuinely engaged in helping us plan for the occasion, he's also truly a thoughtful and supportive person who brings years of experience and true heart to what he does. He and his team will work with you to help you create the experience you're after and will also be clear about what they can and cannot do. This is valuable in many respects because they're not going to overpromise and underdeliver, which is the last thing you want when hosting a large event. We were able to meet Leo at the party's location a few weeks in advance to review logistics and generally plan the event from both our perspectives ahead of time. This took the guesswork out of the equation and set the tone for a great event to come, which ultimately turned out to be a fantastic success! Oh, and lest we forget to address the obvious - the food was excellent! We worked with Leo to choose the menu ahead of time in order to match our vision for the evening, as well as our budget. When it came to the actual evening of the 'Book Launch Party' everything had been planned for in advance so it made it easy on every level. The food was freshly prepared and enjoyed by all of the 100 or so guests in attendance. ... Well done, Leo and team! Well done, indeed! For all the reasons I've shared, I wouldn't hesitate to contact Leo and Mexico City Cuisine for any catering needs for that next special event. Our sincere thanks to Leo, Kiana, Eva and the rest of the team at Mexico City! Keep up the excellent work and we'll stay in touch for the next upcoming celebration! Cheers! -Rob Robert Banks Author and Owner of ACTIV365 Consulting www.activ365.com read more

From our tasting to our reception, the MCC staff was amazing! So friendly and helpful at every turn. The food was great and our guests raved about it. We discussed leftovers before the event and they asked us to just bring our own containers and they would fill them up. They did a good job determining the amount of food needed so there wasn't too much left over. We also used their services for tables, chairs and linens. It was set up exactly how we asked. Leo and Eva were very responsive in all communication. We would definitely recommend them! read more

I booked MCC for my wedding reception (7-13-24) based on their good reviews, without tasting any of their food options before the wedding. I chose "The Mexican Trio", and was so impressed with the food quality (everyone at the reception agreed) and the staff was amazing as well! They arrived exactly on time, were attentive and friendly, and overall I would highly recommend their services! I would give them 10 stars! read more

When I heard that Mexico City Cuisine would be catering at a recent Brewventure I did not know what to expect. Would the specially priced giant $5.00 burritos come with meat products in them? I pondered eating before, thankfully time got the best of my day and I arrived with an empty stomach. The brewery was abuzz with people raving about the food. I went to find out if their menu catered to my finicky diet. I asked if there were any vegetarian options and they could not have been more accommodating. Mexican food is like building blocks, add a little beans, a bit of cheese, some rice, you know the drill. But what made Mexican City Cuisine stand high above most Mexican foods is that they truly care about their clients. The chef immediately asked how he could make a custom burrito without me even having to ask. I watched him clean off his griddle, then load it up with a giant pile of fresh veggies just for me. A few minutes later they were piping hot and seasoned to perfection. I got beans, a tiny bit of rice, loads of veggies and a sprinkle of cheese rolled up into a gigantic flour tortilla, then I loaded that up with salsa. I did not even have to ask for anything special, he just buffed me out! Entrepreneurs that really go out of their way to make a customer's day deserve a big fat 5 stars! read more
